I'm so glad everyone liked the cookie (and other stuff) recipes. Huge thanks to everyone who sent one in. We're totally going to do a 2nd edition, so don't worry if you're not in this one. There will be another chance :)

Anyway.

I've learned a lot in the last 2 years from everyone here. The #1 thing (other than bacon) is that even though the Daily Puglet is mostly all about me, it's also about all of you. So when I read a comment from Sammy last week asking about our birthdays here at Casa de Puglet, I got the most genius idea ever.

Wouldn't it be kinda cool if everyone knew everyone's birthday - not just mine and Dutch's and my humans? I figure with 448 Daily Puglet followers, we could probably celebrate someone's birthday every single day. And you know what birthdays mean: birthday cookies! Cookies for all!

How cool would that be??

Now. I know sometimes when you get recycled, nobody tells your new people when you were born. So if you don't know your birthday, that's cool. Gotcha Days (the day your people got ya) are just like birthdays. Sometimes they're even better.

So. Today I want to know your name and your birth or gotcha day (+/- where you live). My human will put everybody's special day on a special calendar and when your day comes around, I'll wish you a happy one here on the DP. And we will all have a reason to eat cookies.

Great idea !!!!!!!!!! ohhhhhh!!!! 2 of my 3 babies are recycled soZuzia G-Day is June 2 (Poznan, Poland)Pucia G-Day is February 13 (P.P.)and my boy Fredzio, he's B-day is October 4 (P.P.)P.S. I was born on June 27, just two days after Puglet (lol)P.S. 2 I must try to send a recipe for the 2nd edition, 1st one is just awesome !!!!

Our Mom isn't really sure what day we were born, but she knows we were both born in April 2003. Mom says she can't remember our 'gotcha' days cuz she can't remember a day when we weren't in her life. She says that everybody feels blue on April 15th, so she celebrates our birthdays on that day. My name is Harley, I'm a pug and my sister is a very snooty cocker spaniel named Mimi. (I think her name is perfect for her because she thinks, "Me! Me!" all the time!)

The world came to a screeching halt on August 27th, 2009. That's when I burst forth and evryone stood back in awe of my rockin' awesomeness! "Wait what's that?" Hehe. I now cause major earth shattering ruckus in The East Bay...AKA Concord CA. This is such a great idea Pug!!!

Hi Puglet!!! You are always coming up with GREAT ideas!! My human is the one who has been gimpy lately so she is really glad there will be another chance to send in a recipe. I don't want her to know I'm a little glad she is gimpy (literally) since it means she has been home with me :) Anyhow.......here are our BD's:

Gracie 9/12/08Benny (me) 10/23/09 but since I am recycled my human also celebrates my Gotcha Date too 3/14/10. We live in South Glens Falls, NY

P.S. Happy Birthday Gracie!!! Our Gracie is also a SUPER agility pug (and SKINNY). Must be in the name.......

Hi Graci.. Happy BirthdayWe're agility pugs too and we are thin. Phat pugs can't run fast enough so we eat good and only get home made treats.The San Antonio Agility PugsEllie (agility retired) Emmitt and Eli

Hi Puglet, Great idea! Me(Pug Fred), my sister (human Madeleine) and my Mom(human Estelita), loves to be here every days, and I wish all cookies!!! Also I have brothers and sisters cats (6 recycled cats). They also wants the cookies!Fred - Sep.11.2009.Rio de Janeiro - Brazil

Hi Puglet! We love all your stories and great ideas. Our mom knows our birthdays AND gotcha days so we feel pretty special. One of us came from a breeder and then mom and dad learned about rescue so the other one came from rescue (was born into rescue!)Mom and dad always say they were crazy for having essentially two puppies at once, but they keep laughing and smiling at us so we're pretty sure they're going to keep us (even if one of us eats poop).

Yeah, we're 10 months apart and so that means we play really hard all day together and then crash and sleep together super hard at night!

Love the Daily Puglet!!Payton was born on March 21st, 2003. She lives in Mascoutah, IL (a small town next to Scott Air Force Base, about 30 minutes from St. Louis, MO). She is a Pug Dog Encephalitis survivor (4 1/2 years since diagnosis), which makes birthdays around our house extra special! There aren’t very many hopeful stories on-line and not much information for that matter, so if anyone has questions, please feel free to email us: boostrom1 'at' charter 'dot' net.Christy and Payton

I'm Kahlua the Pug, and I was born October 23, 2006, which makes me 4 and a half. I am currently living with my [grand] human in Cincinnati, Ohio, but was a sunny california beach dog in Los Angeles for my first 4 years. So I've just endured my first winter + snow. My mommy human is in Stockholm as of the moment and I hope to be joining her soon. So it's not like I'm being recycled with my [grand] human, I'm just being completely spoiled, with cookies & cuddles, like every day.

This is a super idea, Puglet! Some more cookies every day would be great. I have just lost one kilo, so I can sort of afford it. Sort of ..

My birthday is 13th June, I will be two years old. Last year we celebrated with my pug girlfriend Trudy and we made a boat trip. Very exciting! I tried to jump from the boat but luckily Mom saved me. Next time I won't try .. or may be just a little.

Hi Puglet, this is genius. We are feral cats and after 10 years of indoor living, we are finally getting to be friendly with our humans. This is Chloe, Amelia and Booker from Irondequoit New York. Birthday April 1st we think (the vet picked it) :-)

Great idea, puglet. Megans gotcha day is November 10th. Jasper's birthday is January 10th and his gotcha day is October 4th, which is also their human's birthday (best present ever). Megan (fawn pug) and Jasper (black pug) live on a small island off the coast of Maine (North Haven). It's the best place in the world for dogs. There are only 350 people so they all know Jasper and Megan by name and always stop for a pat and a hello.

I love you Puglet. Will you marry me? I'm a feisty pug from Michigan and love chasing ducks. I'll bet you'd love me too. Anyway my birthday is May 22nd (I'll be 3). Hope you and Dutch and you hoomin are happy.

This is fun. It looks like were going birthday cake everyday! Zoey's birthday is April 20, 2003 and we're still recovering from the day she gave birth to Phoebe on July 27, 2005. Phoebe was an only pug and her mind still is.Luv, Zoey & Phoebe

LOVE the idea! I don't know when Rodney (the Boston Terrier and love of my life)was born, it was sometime in July 2002. I don't remember his gotcha date either but it was sometime in the Fall of 2002 during law school finals! So, we'll celebrate his birthday as July 4th! Lucky (the Pug and most loving dog who has owned me) was born sometime in July as well but in 2007, I think July 16th.

Hi Puglet! You're so nice to think of everyone! Here are our birthdays (we're cats, but we know your blog makes our human happy every day!)Murphy: 2/14 (That's what they said in the shelter. Maybe they picked Valentine's day because I have white patches on each front paw, and when I put my paws together, the white patches form a heart.)Mishka and Tuzik: 3/18

Puglet,Just reading all the birthdays and gotcha days is awsome! PUGLET, you even got proposed to!!!!! So many days; how will you ever keep up with it? If anyone can it's you and your mom and Dutch. I'm in for ANY excuse for a treat.Phoebe July 1Kizzy March 17Olita January 23Dutchy January 13We all live in Gladstone, Oregon

Wow...another fantastic idea! I don't know when my real birthday is. I found my dad in the Spring of 2003. We don't remember the exact day so we celebrate on May 17th every year...Norwegian Constitution Day. Aka...the biggest party day of the year in Norway! We thought that was a good fit since that's where my ancestors are from :)

Looking forward to eating lots of cookies in celebration of all these special days! I live in Vancouver, BC!

Hi Pug - Our names are Kermit and Gino, and our birthday day is TODAY!! April 8th!! We are 4 years old today! Our humans are throwing us a party with our Grammy, Grampy, and pug sister, AnnaBelle. There's always special goodies at these parties. Can't wait!-Kermit & Gino

Great idea, Puglet! My birthday is on May 30, 2009, but my new humans aren't so sure because my adoption agency lady didn't have my records from my mean former owner who left me in the woods after I showed him I wasn't very good at treeing a coon! Do we all get a copy of this calendar, by the way? Or do we download it? I'd love to send cookies to as many b-day pals as pawsible, you know!xoxo...Daisy the Treeing Walker Coon Hound

Hi Puglet! I think we are twins - or at least brothas from anotha motha. We look a lot alike which means you are very handsome, just like me. My Special Day is on July 7 and I was born in 2005 in Portland, Oregon.

Jack (Bernese Mountain Dog) Mar. 18/05, Trail, BC CanadaRosie (Pu-huahua we think) we don't know her birthday because she was rescued from Tijuana...she joined our family on Mar. 26 this year and we think she is around 3. Now she lives in Trail, BC Canada

Brainstorm level genius! You have to change the name of the blog to the Daily Cookie though. My birthday is June 18 and my Gotcha Day is August 14 so I totally think I need 2 extrasuperspecial canine party days. Mr. Bear doesn't know his birthday exactly but Mom picked October 31, because that was "in the neighborhood". Whatevertheheck that means. Mr. Bear's Gotcha Day was Jan. 1. Mom calls him her Holiday Mutt. If there's cookies involved, I'm in it with all 4 feet.

Dear Puglet & Dutch,My name is Isabelle, according to my people dad, I'm the prettiest pug on earth. My birthday is August 25. My sister is not a pug and she is also dumb, Poo Poo's birthday is April 15. Love, Isabelle (Spring Valley Lake CA)

My doctor records say that I was born on November 1, 2009, but my people didn't get me until February 13, 2010 (daddy gave me to mommy for Valentime's Day). Whatever day your human wants to put on the calender is cool with me.

Hi Puglet, my name is Ajax I live in Arlington, Virginia. I'm a devil pug, but only because I was born 6-6-06! My Mommy got me slightly used, but when she adopted me my first mom gave her my puppy pictures and papers... I heart cookies too!

Our birthday is 4/12/08. We just had a HUGE pool party with all our local friends. Mom says we can now legally drink but she only gave us water and we have been drinking that for years so who know what that means. We are so lucky cause our Mom LOVES to cook so we had a bacon, carrot, and peanut butter cake with peanut butter and cream cheese icing. It was AWESOME! We also ate tons of watermelon and nibbled on people's ribs. Next year you will have to come, but sadly mom requires all pugs to wear life jackets during the party. Love, Tiger & Tallulah

Just catching up on my Daily Puglet and saw this post! My name is Marzipan and my birthday is March 20. My stinky brother Double Stuff aka Dubs just celebrated his birthday on April 12. We're both Boston terriers and love our fellow short nosed brothers, pugs (and puglets).

Oh hi, Marzipan again! We're from Hawthorne, NJ. My full birthday is March 20, 2008, and my brother Double Stuff's is April 12, 2009. Sorry I'm not great at following directions. We also live in a house of carrots by the way... wish I knew someone with a house of meat! Sounds great!
